You’d be surprised the insane bullshit I’ve seen upvoted on this platform, come to think of it. Blatant rape apologia and shit. Even Nazis and tankies. I’ve been arguing people like that into the ground, and everyone seems content to leave that up to the user to downvote away, but that really is something mods should be taking care of, not us. If mods won’t ban people like that, why even have them?
Mods aren’t paid to moderate here and even though they should, I think almost everyone has a well paying job and a partner or family on the side that gets priority.
Also i think other platforms protected you from seeing what kind of opinions are out there in people. Just because mods clean it up on other platforms, it just means you don’t see it - but those opinions are still there.
So I don’t know, maybe I’m old fashioned, but I prefer seeing it than living in some illusion that it doesn’t exist.

Lemmy as a system is so fucked.
